Andrew, you seem too reasonable to be a modern American, but I suppose there are always exceptions.  I have been banned from virtually every Modern forum that I posted to on the internet, so this also confirms my personal experience.

Christianity is largely based on miracles.  Virgin birth is a miracle, resurrection is miracle, Jesus being son of God or part of God is a miracle, and Jesus demonstrated his authority with miracles.  As a skeptic, I have a hard time believing in miracles.  The more miraculous something is, the more overwhelming evidence to support it I would need to believe it.  I have nothing against Christianity or others having faith, but my brain isn't wired that way.  I was an atheist for most of my life.  I explained my current view of God in my post on Skepticism.

Not to get completely off topic, but I am curious about your opinion of this post by a Christian:
